International Visiting Fellowships

Open to scholars from outside Cambridge

About

"I think that an intellectual community that helps you become a better, smarter, and more articulate version of yourself is hard to find. That’s what I found at CRASSH". (Christopher Nygren, Visiting Fellow, Michaelmas 2017)

CRASSH Visiting Fellowships are designed to support the Centre's research interests, projects, and activities. Depending on the Fellowship, Fellows are usually given desk space in the Centre and, where appropriate, funding towards travel, as well as certain practical assistance in their research. CRASSH can help in arranging accommodation with a College, and enable access to the University Library and other departmental libraries. CRASSH may also support visitors who come to Cambridge for a period of days or weeks in order to participate in a particular activity organised by the Centre. For information about the different fellowship opportunities please click on the Fellowships tab on this page. Click here to view current fellowship opportunities at CRASSH and apply online.

As well as our established fellowship opportunities, we welcome applications from scholars who already have their own funding in place, and who wish to come to CRASSH for a term or longer. To find out more information please email fellowships@crassh.cam.ac.uk. We will require a recent CV and a research proposal to be considered by the Visiting Fellowships Committee.

Quentin Skinner Fellowship (one term)
In 2009 the Faculty of History received funding from the International Balzan Prize Foundation to establish an annual Lecture in modern intellectual history since c. 1500. In 2015-16 this Fellowship came to an end and is now known as the Quentin-Skinner Fellowship in Intellectual History since c15.00. The appointed Fellow holds a fellowship at CRASSH for one term, presenting the Quentin-Skinner lecture and participating in the related symposium. For information about the Quentin Skinner Fellowship and previous Balzan-Skinner Fellows please click here. The Quentin Skinner Fellowship is intended for early career scholars (normally defined as within ten years of attaining the PhD). Like previous Balzan-Skinner Fellows, the Quentin Skinner Fellow will be invited to give a lecture on a subject of their choosing in the broad field of intellectual history since 1500, including the history of political thought, and will organise a half-day colloquium to follow the lecture. The competition to select the Fellow for 2019-20 is now closed.
